I have to buy tires this week

[Horse with no Name]

Is there a certain size that progressives are allowed to buy?
I'd hate to lose my liberal license if they are too BIG.

[Deja Q]

1. Which brands are blue, or do you want us to say the tires should match the, um, ego?

:rofl:

[madeline_con]

2. LOL!

:rotf:

[rzemanfl]

3. If Bush attacks Iran you won't need 'em. n/t

[Kutjara]

4. No, but anything too fancy, like...

...low profile sports tires or high-speed racing tires are definitely non-progressive. You have to get very very ordinary tires, peferably with whitewalls (if they still make them). If you can find any crossplys, so much the better.

Anyway, what the hell are you doing driving a car, you elitist bastard?

[salvorhardin]

5. As long as...

As long as they're made out of recycled hemp fibre infused with patchouli oil you're OK. Remember, if you're buying rubber you're supporting Bushco. ;-)

[Kutjara]

6. Wooden wheels were good enough for the Founding Fathers...

...so they're good enough for my Camry.

[salvorhardin]

12. Oh sure

Advocate deforestation. The trees are our friends, man. Would you kill your friends?

[Kutjara]

14. Hmm, good point.

How about stone wheels? Fred Flinstone swore by them.

[salvorhardin]

19. Raping the earth in the name of mass consumerist culture!

Have you no shame?

[Kutjara]

22. Rats.

Dried horseshit, reinforced with strands of seaweed (the kind washed up on the beach, not the living kind)?

[salvorhardin]

26. You're just pulling my leg now

Do you have any idea what the phosphates in that horseshit do to the algae bloom? You're choking the life right out of our oceans!

[Kutjara]

27. OK, how about...

...my own skin, wrapped around a sort of wheel-shaped thing made from my ribcage and other assorted bones? If I could get three other people to donate their parts, we could get the car on the road (admittedly, it would have to be driven by someone else, since we'd all be dead).

[salvorhardin]

28. Jeesh. No need to go to extremes.

Such a drama queen! I was just thinking flying cars like the Jetsons had. No need for tires.

[Kutjara]

29. But think of the hideous environmental damage...

...all that antigrav plating and the jet engines will cause. Not to mention the birds that will be terrified out of their wits and the carnage as people who can't even drive cars on the roads properly now have three dimensions to be stupid in.

[salvorhardin]

30. Oh, I see.

You're one of those luddites who can't stand progress.

[Kutjara]

31. I thought that would have been obvious from...

...my preference for wooden wheels. ;)

[salvorhardin]

32. I don't want to hear about your bizarre sexual fetishes

Degenerates!

[Kutjara]

33. Oh don't even get me started on them.

<slaver> <drool>

[salvorhardin]

34. Are you free tonight? n/t

[Kutjara]

37. I never charge.

It's part of my charm. Well, it's probably my only charm.

[Truthiness Inspector]

7. I would suggest

tires that are circular and fit on the rims when they inflate. Did that help? :)

I must have missed a big tire hooha here.

[flashlighter]

8. If I buy a pair of these:

Do I have to vote Republican?




Should explain: I don't own a car. I own feet, and I like putting expensive pretty things on them.

[Horse with no Name]

10. WOW

Those are hot!
Condi is liable to send you to Gitmo to get her hands on those!

[flashlighter]

11. That is the ONLY thing Condi and I agree on...pretty shoes!

[Peggy Day]

9. I think Costco is both blue and reasonably priced for tires.

Never really researched it though.

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Make sure you only get 4

If you got, say, six, that would be too many.

[AlCzervik]

15. 22's with spinners.

[BuyingThyme]

16. What kind of car?

[Horse with no Name]

18. ERRRRRR

pssstt...I drive an SUV.
Don't tell anyone. shhhhhh.....

[BuyingThyme]

20. Are you going with all-terrains?

[Nicole]

17. Why are you driving???!!!!

You should use public transportation only and sparingly at that. Seriesly. :mad:

[trashcanistanista]

25. I go with

Cooper (not sure if I'm allowed to say that) for my, um., suv. But they make the best all weather highway and offroad in one tire. You need five, one for the spare. They don't look very conspicuous, no glitzy markings, and they won't explode on you like the Firestones.

[Cobalt-60]

21. pull them off a wreck

at your friendly neighborhood junk yard.
That's where I get mine. 4 90% rubber tires and rims for
less than 50 bucks makes my old Buick real happy.

[Squatch]

23. There must be another thread on DU to have triggered this one..

got a link?

[walldude]

35. It has to be the original, John Edwards house is too big thread

I saw it early today, apparently it has turned into an industry, there are a number of threads about it..

Still on the first page

[Rosco T.]

24. Discount Tire

very good prices and service.

[lectrobyte]

36. What kind of car? How do you like to drive it? How long do you plan

on keeping it? How much do you want to spend? I like www.tirerack.com for checking out tires.

38. Omaha Steve would know

he`s the resident union guy here at du do not buy bridgestone or firestone tires- real scum bag company.
